lol...

so, i bounced everything too quietly. i thought the guitars sounded weird and i just couldn't figure out what the fuck it was...thought my amp was maybe going on me....

i knew to turn the effects off, but i have the master at -1. so, it came out around a decibel down. i've verified that i get the right level if i rebounce with the master at 0.

that means, i'm going to have to go back to the file before i bounced (i saved it at that point), rebounce everything and then reintegrate the parts i've added later. that might take all day.

i'm going to take a different approach, though. what i had done before was bounce multiple parts down into the same file, but i figured out halfway through that it's really just an effects issue and i'm not really clearing up processor space that way. what i basically want to do is just run the different files through the effects i've got set on them.

the other thing, is i watched my track count go down, which made me a little sad. this'll keep it back up where it ought to be.

so, deep breath. ok, go...
